Abstract

This paper clarifies the development process of Mashike-cho and examines the relationship between the development process and existing thirty-eight historical buildings in the town. Mashike-cho had prospered as a fishing village and its fundamental structure was established by the public land readjustment held in 1881 after the big fire. The Ekimaedori street since the establishment of the railway station, Suzurandori street, Ohdori street, and Kagai district(an entertainment district) became the main part of the town. Historical buildings since the Meiji and Taisho era still remain mainly in those former entertainment and shopping area. Those historical buildings can be recognized as important properties describing the historical development of Mashike-cho.
